Comma Rules Continued

          The test on comma rules was eye- opening. There was some confusion about how to identify and apply the rules of FANBOYS,OPENER, INTERRUPTER,LIST, and CLOSER (FOILC) to sentences.

When sentences from student compositions were re-examined for comma mistakes, there was strong improvement. 

Homonyms

          The commonly misused and misunderstood homonyms like TO, TWO, and TOO, YOUR and YOU'RE, ITS and IT'S, THERE,THEY'RE, and THEIR were reviewed. The student responses to questions were promising.

          We are going to have a quiz tomorrow, Monday, January 26.
